Thank you, I'm trying to raise the level of both the production quality and what I'm building with every episode.

Intro was a smooth vibe. MAP is one of your primary process variables. PCM uses that to meter air mass. Consistent pressure drop across the injector enables PCM to achieve target AFR/ Lambse. Why did you descend to the floor for center punching your pcm bracket?
@AlexLindner4 ай бұрын
Thank you. I go to the floor to use a punch for two reasons: a solid backing and a better vantage point to see exactly where the punch is placed. This is what works for me, although I'm sure other fabricators have their own methods as well.

I hope to get to this level of auto fabrication. Just tried my hand at welding some aluminum tubing the other day and... well... I'm gonna need more practice.

It takes time and repetition to develop the skill set. I've been doing this for 12-13 years and still learn new things/refine my process every time I pick up the torch. Fall in love with the process and let it consume you - TIG welding and fabrication are enjoyable endeavors for many, many years.

Great work brother. How do you like that flair tool?

Thank you, and thank you for your continued support over all of these years. I love that flaring tool, it's been one of the best tool purchases I've made. I highly recommend it.

Looks more like a 6m to me 🤔🤔

The block casting has "5M" protruding from its side.

@@AlexLindner from what wiki says it's actually an increased capacity 5m, they were 2.8l i believe if i remember correctly, after Toyota replace the internals and used dohc it amounted to 3l, but it's technically a larger 5m, they were in the ms132 crown something along those lines, a bit rusted in my upstairs 🥴 you should look for the engine number stamped/engraved on the engine block rather than the mold they used case the block

@@AlexLindner example Nissan used one mold for both sr20 and sr18 only difference was smaller sleeves and smaller Pistons

@@DriftCentralI apologize for my short reply earlier - I was in the middle of a welding job and should have waited to respond. My memory is a bit foggy as it's been ages since I researched MKII Supras deeply. However, from what I can recall, the 5M and 6M are close relatives. The 6M is a JDM 3.0L, as you said, and I cannot recall if there are differences in the cylinder head or not. 6M swaps were fairly common, as were 7M swaps. From what I recall about the engine in this car, it came from a USDM MKII Supra which would make it a 2.8L 5M. My dad commissioned this engine before he passed and I was hands off with that process as I was balls deep in my MKIV project at that time. However, I'm nearly positive that this is a 5M.
